“Campbell effortlessly and playfully handles an impressive array of critical tools to argue most convincingly that Ovid’s Metamorphoses is a hymn to divine appropriation. The analysis is pressed into exhaustive detail and in her brilliant readings, Campbell displays a sustained ingenuity that is well matched to the endlessly inventive and cunningly allusive Ovid.”—Ioannis Ziogas, author of Law and Love in Ovid: Courting Justice in the Age of Augustus
“This erudite study offers an elegant demonstration of Ovid’s debts to the classical hymnic tradition, especially Callimachus’ collection, in the early books of his Metamorphoses. Highly recommended.”—Alison Keith, author of Virgil
